Slavery Capitalism presents new research about the instruments of capitalism in slavery and how they shaped the burgeoning economy of the new republic. The book, composed of multiple essays from different authors debunks myths about antebellum America such as the separation of the economies of the North and South. It also offer new and convincing evidence about how slavery was foundational to the global economy in the early nineteenth century.

I‘ve been taking advantage of my new Audible Plus subscription! This is the second book I‘ve listened to. It is a series of essays by a number of historians who discuss slavery as the basis of capitalism in the US. Fascinating so far! #audibleplus #amreading #audiobooks
